Located in Urville and currently managed by Michel Drappier, House Drappier has been a property of the Drappier Family since 1808. Yet the history of the vineyard goes back to the 12th century. With 1,5 Mio produced bottles per year and 55 ha of owned land, Drappier is one of the biggest family owned wine-growers. Champagne Drappier was chosen by Charles de Gaulle for his private receptions. He discovered Champagne Drappier and chose a cuvee rich in Pinot Noir (80%) which was renamed in homage to him.

Cultivated in a as natural as possible way, the vineyard gives life to grapes rich in complex aromas. Drappier stands for Pinot Noir, amounting to 70% of the total area. The high percentage of this grape variety ensures corpulent and fruity wines with great structure and finish. Another characteristics of the Drappier Champagne are the low dosage and low levels of Sulphur. The Brut Nature Zero Dosage sans soufre is even completely Sulphur free.

Awards & Ratings

93+ Points Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate:
"Disgorged in April 2018 with six grams per liter dosage, the Pinot Noir-dominated 2010 Brut Rosé Grande Sendrée is showing very well, offering up an attractive bouquet of raspberries, wild plums, rhubarb and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, vinous and tightly wound, with racy acids, a concentrated core of fruit and a sapid finish. This is a very serious Champagne that's still playing its cards close to its vest, and it will amply repay five or six years patience, even if it can be pleasurably broached sooner." - William Kelley, 30-04-2020
